Porsche Macan fuel pump may crack and leak

NHTSA campaign 20V077000 · Reported 2020-02-12 · Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

critical How serious is it? About this label

Very serious — a fuel leak can lead to a fire; Porsche does not tell owners to park the car, but you should have this repaired right away and get it checked immediately if you smell gasoline.

What's wrong, in plain English

On these Macans, the cover over the fuel pump can rub against a nozzle on the pump's mounting flange. That contact can crack the part and let gasoline leak out. Leaking fuel near anything hot or sparking can start a fire. Porsche will rework or replace the flange and add a protective film so the parts no longer touch, and will also inspect the flange and replace it if cracks have already formed. All of this is done at no cost.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Macan is included.
2. Contact your Porsche dealer or Porsche at 1-800-767-7243 (recall ALA2) and schedule the repair promptly.
3. Have the fuel pump flange inspected, protected, and replaced if cracked — free of charge.
